Father, 37, and daughter, 2, perished in blaze

CLYDE - A Clyde church has set up a donation account for a family who lost their father and an infant daughter in a house fire early Saturday.

Shawn Stock, 37, and daughter Avery, 2, died as a result of the fire at their home in Tymochtee Township, Wyandot County, according to Wyandot County Sheriff Michael R. Hetzel.

The Rev. Dave Weirich, associate pastor of Harvest Baptist Temple, said the Stock family belongs to the Clyde church, which is about 30 miles northeast of their home.

He said monetary donations can be sent to the Harvest Baptist Temple, P.O. Box 263, Clyde, OH 43410, re: The Shawn Stock Family.

Hetzel said in a news release that Lisa Stock, 34, called 911 on a cell phone at 12:45 a.m. Saturday to report that her house was on fire at 1990 Ohio 53, south of McCutchenville.

Lisa Stock was able to get her 1-year-old daughter, Alana, out of the house through a window, but told dispatchers she was not able to get out of the house herself.

"Sgt. Brandon Kromer, a Wyandot County deputy, was the first unit on scene and observed Alana standing in the snow clothed in a diaper. Sgt. Kromer was able to get Lisa out of the house through a window, and used his vehicle to provide immediate shelter for both Lisa and Alana," Hetzel said in the news release.

"Lisa then advised the deputy that her husband, Shawn Stock, and their young daughter, Avery Stock, were still inside."

Heavy smoke was coming from all the windows and the sergeant was unable to enter the residence, Hetzel said.

Firefighters from McCutchenville Fire Department and Sycamore Fire and Rescue arrived and attempted to enter the home, and were able to locate Avery.
